Have your children asked you to put your phone down, trying to get your attention? Ours have.

Our relationship with our screens—not unlike the secondhand smoke elicited by a smoker—may be impacting our children more deeply than we realize.

One such study describes it as “distracted parental attention,” and how it is impacting our kids’ cognitive development, especially their ability to process pleasure. Other studies show increased anxiety and depression in our kids today related to screens.

In this episode, we talk openly about the challenges of the screen in our own home. We also discuss practical ways to show our kids they are more important than our phones. The most powerful application comes at the very end, when Christi reveals the “why” behind her limits.

Laura,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so grateful you’re enjoying the podcasts and posts. If you wouldn’t mind, would you write a review on the podcast? It apparently, so they say, helps with others finding it 🙂

We love Dave and Claudia!
Blessings to you too as you minister to so many!
Josh
